The Yellow Fever.

There was no new cases of yellow fe-
yer at Key West. yesterday. OF the five
new cases reported the day before, one
case is out of danger and the others
are doing well. The fact that
the Plant Line offers to carry persons to
Tampa who have ived in Kew Nest five
years shows that the situation is not re-
garded as one of very great gravity. A
day or two more will show whether
the fever at the only infected
city of Florida is likely to become cpl
demic or merely to break out in groups
of cases during the summer. The dis
ease can hardly be called epidemic yet,
if our reports from Key West are trust
worthy, and we believe they are. There
is no occasion for bidding the State a
hurried farewell nor rushing off to the
pine woods, and we have reason to
think there is little disposition among
Palatkans to do either, at present.
Let our citizens keep cool, discredit
floating rumors, look upon the possibili-
ties with cheerfulness and clean their
premises. OF course, alarmists will
always be found, but they must be dis
couraged. If they are allowed to pro-
duce a needless panic the result
will be prolongation of the
duh season and we may even earn the
contempt of other sections of the State
by exhibiting anything like fear so early
as this. The best protection of cur fam
lilies from the dread monster lies in
cleanliness. This should begin with the
cleaning of the public thoroughfares and
their bitches. Private citizens can be
better induced to cooperate in the work
by cleaning up their premises when they
see the city doing its share. Such meas
ures would be more effective than prose-
cutions for failing to carry out sanitary
measures, although those who prove
themselves public enemies by refusing
to disinfect and remove or burn all mat
ter dangerous to health should be prose-
cuted.
1t is doubtful if there are
any private grounds in Palatka, any
back yards or private drains in "A condi-
ton so dangerous to the general health As
the public bitches. Unless work is begun
at once in remedying the foul condition
of the bitches it is still idle to clean vi
the premises of the citizens. The two
reforms should go hand in hand. The
city must be cleaned thoroughly, ant

GRASSING.

Grassing should begin as soon rs the
grass has attained a size that it can be
pulled up by the roots, and not left until
you have 10 resort 10 knife; this pro-
cess is the cause of SO much seedy rice
now on the market. too much unskilled
labor is employed, many kinds of OBJ
noxious weeds and grasses, after being
cut, grow out again and produce more
seed than before. i think it necessary
that the water be occasionally turned off
the ground for two or three days at the
time, in order that the plant can
strengthen. There is mistake, think,
too prevalent in keeping body of wa
ter banked up in the squares until the
river refuses the supplying.

WOMEN OF THE HAREM.

One of the conditions upon which wo-
man enters the harem, says General Lew
Wallace in his new lecture, is that she give
up all family ties and connections with the
outside world. While polygamy is per-
mitted in Turkey, not more than five per
cent. of His Majesty 5 Moslem subjects
have harems. General Wallace depicts in
humorous vein the curiosity of American
women TO visit the harems. They always
have great desire to sec the poor creatures
at home and devise some means to raise
them from their degraded condition. After
a visit many of these ladies change their
minds about the fearful fate of the Turk
ish women The Turkish ladies assemble
in common reception room richly furnish
ed. They are attended by throng of
slaves, white and black, who do their every
bidding. The mistresses of these harems
wear costumes which the speaker. after
apologizing for his deficiency ON the sub
ject of feminine apparel, undertook to de-
scribe Their clothing is of the richest
material. OF the general intelligence of
these women their American sisters do mot
speak in flattering terms. The converse
ton between the Turkish women and their
visitors always runs about this way:
''Where are you from9" inquire the lux
urious wives of the Mahometans.
''From America
"Where is America -
Its over the ocean
''Do you ever go ont there without wear
ing yeilse Aren't you ashamed before the
men -
1--WE don't pay any attention to the
men.
| 1t is the general opinion that ladies of
the harem are prisoners. This is merely a
delusion. Every Turkish woman has her
own quarters and herown slaves to wait
upon her. She can take ride whenever
she wishes, and she wears what she pleases
without any interference The Turkish
headdress is, with due Difference to the
style of Paris and New York, the most be.
coming in the world. 1t makes the homliest
woman handsome and the handsome an
gelie. The Turkish women are, next tc
our own American women, the most beau
tiful have ever seen. Glimpses of then
can be caught on Fridays, the Turkisl
Sunday, or from their carriages. They Ok
their own shopping. 1t is theirs to buy a.
they please and their husbands to pay foi
it. 1t is incorrect to say there is no homs
life among the Turks. Laying aside th,
tie of husband and wife, there remains
that almost as dear-parent and child
The residents of the harem, which means :
sacred or secret place. are passionately de
voted to their children, upon whom they
can shower all the tenderness Of weman''

TEAcnING By EXAMPLE.

Yes, brother, you shall teach your child
obedience: teach him that your viii and
word is law, and instill into his mind the
profound reverence for law which every
citizen should feel And if You will just
keep ON lying to the assessor about the
value Of your property in order to avoid
certain tax laws. and violate the law about
riding on the platform every time you ride
on the street car, and defy the ordinances
respecting the ash barrels and snow on
your sidewalk every time you have the OPP
portunity, and keep on breaking every
municipal and State law that isn't convent
ent for You to obey, the boy reverence for
the law will grow deeper every year. until
it will be so deep that he can't reach down
to it when he wants TO use it. The way to
teach boy obedience is to be just as DISC
dent as you can be. Just sit down now
